Please attach your prefs.js and mimeTypes.rdf files to this bug.

Do you mean it opens the pdf in an Inline acrobat reader (with the acrobat plugin) ?

yes, it opens the pdf in an Inline acrobat reader.
Problem, that i'm trying to open text files with extension ".pdf". and Inline
acrobat reader is crashing.
i attached my mimeTypes.rdf file.

You can't override a Plugin with a helper app.
You must rename the Acrobat plugin that Mozilla can't find it.
Put this in your prefs.js in your profile (while Mozilla is not running) :
user_pref("plugin.expose_full_path", true);
and open help/about:plugins and you will see the Acrobat Plugin with the path.
Example:
Adobe Acrobat
File name: C:\Programme\Adobe\Acrobat 5.0\Reader\browser\nppdf32.dll
Adobe Acrobat Plug-In Version 5.00 for Netscape
rename it to nppdf32.dl_ and restart Mozilla.
Remove the prefs.js line if Mozilla don't find another acrobat plugin on your
system (check with help/about:plugins )

But i have the same problem with OppenOffice files.
Mozilla oppen .sxc files as text files, even i set in my preferences, that it
should be saved to disk.

er, that's an entirely different problem, and it's probably not mozilla's fault.
most likely, the http server sends a content-type of text/plain.
Yes, with openoffice sxc files, it was server problem.
lucky, i have access to server cofigurations, but what i should do with servers
to which i don't have access?
Can be some option to treat file with extension ".sxc" as openoffice file, not
as a text file?

duping again for the initial error.
you must fix the error or use "save link target as" from the context menu
